Chapter 89: Chapter 89
Everyone knows that pioneering nobles are extremely wealthy.
Having finally found an opportunity, the major powers would not easily let go of this piece of meat right in front of their mouths.
Among the major powers present, aside from the Law Enforcement Department, everyone wanted to take a bite of this fatty piece.
Of course, the people from the Law Enforcement Department wanted it too, but their strength wasn't enough to swallow it.
And the Energy Department, the Security Department, and this time's aggrieved party—the "Casino Board of Trustees"—were already itching to eat the meat.
These three major powers indeed had the strength to eat the meat.
The real trouble was that these three pioneering noble families were unwilling to bring out the meat for everyone to take a bite.
Adding an uncontrollable yet legal cult organization like the Nature Sect into the mix greatly increased the chances of success.
Let me say it again, it's not easy to renege on a debt to the Nature Sect.
"Of course, that's very reasonable."
Although the raven in his mind was frantically urging Loren to leave immediately and not agree to this matter.
But at this moment, Loren's interest was clearly piqued.
And for Loren at this moment, Spirit Stones were not as important; fun was more important.
He understood that the seventh-tier superhuman from the Casino Board of Trustees wanted to drag him into the group pressuring the three major families.
He did not refuse this proposal. He even thought it sounded quite interesting.
Posing as a member of the Nature Sect and teaming up with the Energy Department, the Security Department, and the Casino Board of Trustees to take advantage of another power's misfortune and plunder them...
This was just too interesting...
This wasn't a rational decision, but it was a decision Loren wanted to make.
Clearly, after this advancement, Loren had undergone some changes he himself hadn't yet noticed.
The lack of humanity made him not think like a normal human being.
Nothing in the world could compare to the fun he sought.
It was like a dull, parched soul encountering something as beautiful as a clear spring in the desert when it was thirsty.
After agreeing to the Casino Board of Trustees' request for debt transfer, Loren looked at the people from the three major families with great anticipation.
"So, are you going to renege on the debt?"
Having chosen to apply pressure together, Loren had already eagerly become the first to make a move.
The wings behind Loren were not retracted, clearly adopting a posture ready to cause a scene at any moment.
Even the Revolver in his hand hadn't been put away yet, still held in his right hand, which hung naturally at his side.
"Of course not, we guarantee it with our family's reputation."
"However, sir, you might have to accompany us to our family estate to collect it. We don't carry that many Spirit Stones on our persons either."
One of the leaders from the three major families spoke to Loren.
Although his attitude was quite amiable, there were actually tens of thousands of Spirit Stones in his spatial storage device.
And he didn't want to show the family's weakness in this atmosphere, or rather, when they were about to negotiate with the other major powers.
In his understanding, this was at the negotiation table, and this was an important technique.
If he chose to hand over those Spirit Stones directly now, it would expose his family's eagerness to settle the matter and avoid trouble.
This would cause his family to be severely taken advantage of later.
Therefore, he chose to postpone paying Loren's debt.
Of course, he genuinely intended to pay this sum of Spirit Stones, as within the Federation, not many powers truly wanted to offend the notorious Nature Sect.
Unfortunately, if he had encountered a real member of the Nature Sect, his handling method would have been without issue.
But facing him was Loren, whose condition was clearly not quite right just after his advancement.
After hearing the other party's words about postponing payment, Loren did not give any verbal response.
Instead, he silently took out a coin from his pocket and, in full view of everyone, tossed it into the air.
One second later, Loren caught the coin with his hand.
In full view of everyone, he opened his palm.
What everyone saw was a Federation Coin with the reverse side facing up.
Loren shook his head as he put away the coin, saying with considerable regret:
"You have Spirit Stones on you, yet you choose not to pay me? It seems you want to renege on the debt."
"Sir, you misunderstand... I..."
This leader from the three major families hadn't even finished his sentence before he fell into a state of stagnation.
He hadn't expected Loren to have such a miraculous lie-detection method, and just as he was about to try to placate Loren again...
Loren directly took action.
Without the slightest hesitation or any delay, as if he had been looking forward to it for a long time.
All the superhumans from the three major families present were pulled by Loren into the illusionary space named "Crossroads of Fate."
Unfortunately, not a single person present had mental strength exceeding Loren's...
Loren's mental strength was calculated by adding together his own and the raven's mental strength.
The combined mental strength of two intelligent beings was immense.
Loren himself possessed the mental strength a rule-based psychic should have.
And the raven possessed "wisdom."
"Wisdom" is a very broad and vague term, and "mental strength" is included within it.
And this energy creature's mental strength was so powerful it could master psychological knowledge and learn a niche language from the Eastern Star Domain within a single day.
Inside the illusionary space.
The superhumans from the three major families all appeared together in the middle of a crossroads in a field.
A full 27 superhumans gathered in the middle of this crossroads.
Having just arrived in an unfamiliar environment, after forming a defensive formation, they began receiving the information given by the phantasmal raven perched on the signpost.
After learning the "four paths" rule of this illusionary space.
The superhumans from the three major families did not immediately think of obeying this rule. Instead, they chose to use their own methods to try and break this illusionary space.
Finally, after discovering that all methods were ineffective, they reluctantly accepted the rules of this illusionary space.
After some discussion.
The superhumans from the three major families chose one among them who was usually quite lucky.
He would choose a path, and the rest would follow his choice.
Being superhumans who knew each other inside out, they naturally had heard about who usually had the best luck.
A superhuman who usually found money whenever he went out was elected by the group as the guide.
This superhuman, following the feeling in his heart, chose the path behind him.
He turned around and resolutely stepped onto that path.
Subsequently, the remaining twenty-six superhumans followed in his footsteps and also stepped onto that path...
And after delaying for so much time.
Half an hour had already passed within the illusionary space.
Time within the illusion was not synchronized with real-world time.
And within this half hour, it was enough time for Loren to use his first ability to impose a layer of Misfortune on each of them.
The "Crossroads of Fate" naturally disappeared.
The illusionary space shattered.
And in the real world at this moment, those superhumans from the three major families who each held sway in their own domains had all peacefully "fallen asleep."
They all lay silently on the ground.
Not a trace of vitality could be seen...
A rather eerie scene.
